Living History Farms 2013 - Fantastic!

A fantastic group of Team R.E.D.er's boarded the bus to Living History Farms about 3:40am Saturday and headed south.. The Pirates and Wenches ready to tackle 7 miles of terrain (some might have elected to tackle less than 7).

Bus driver Ed was kind enough to snap the shot.  

Special Thanks to K&S Heating, Appliance Village and the Bears Den for their great contributions to cover the cost of the bus!   Additionally, all of these sponsors, along with Need's Car Wash  have re-upped their Team R.E.D. sponsorship!    We have some very awesome sponsors!

We held a pathetic talent contest on the bus... a couple headstand, a really good joke and some attempt to explain Elaine's inappropriate t-shiirt.    When the contest was over, no winner was declared. 

No winner determined, but we do have some great prizes from another great sponsor, TerraLoco.  So, this morning, Wendy and Tom conducted a drawing... and the results are posted below.  I'll keep the prizes in my car, so when we see each other next, we can get you the goods!  If the prize you won doesn't fit, I would suggest stopping into TerraLoco to see if you can exchange.   The winner of the Run Minnesota Shirt just needs to go see Brock, as I have already let him know who the winner was!  

Congrats to the following winners!  

• Adidas Headband - Gwen 
• Adidas Headband - Mike M.
• Adidas Wrist bands - Jess I
• Adidas Shorts, Size Large - Tod B.
• Features Elite Socks - size Large - Sarah C
• Features Elite Socks - size Med - Heidi W
